In January 2009 Scott went out to pass his open water certification etc. etc. Scott has never been one for the water, 'I've always been more comfortable on land, and although I'm in the Navy I'm terrified of the water! Well not terrified' Apprehensive.

Scott's journey to overcome his fear took him to Dominica, the Nature Island of the Caribbean, where he decided to complete his PADI Open Water Certification and challenge Dominica's rugged terrain above and below Dominica's water line....
